Rumored PFL Founder Speculates the UFC Will Secure an $8 Billion Total/10 Year Deal. Praises Dana for Next Level Brilliance.

[tritestill]

Must be inside information, any clue on who the bidders are? Can't see ESPN letting UFC walk away. Got to be like Netflix, ESPN, maybe Amazon not sure who else

wut

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Or he's saying that knowing they won't actually get anything close, which would then make Dana look bad lol

Ohhhh I see. Thanks for explaining. My bad.

 

[burningspear]

its a license to print money by virtue of keeping the fighters slice below 20%

That’s a lot of driveway snow.

I was just guessing. He might really believe the number he said.

Dont think UFC will go 10 years. Think Fox was 7 and ESPN was 5 and then added 2 more years on it.

Right now they got 300 mill a year from ESPN for tv and then added the PPVs which I dont know exactly how much that is but figure they get atleast 400 mill a year. Getting 2x that a year would be great but bet they want 2.5x for an entire package.

They could also split it up between a few places. Theres pros and cons to signing 10 years, you're locked into that guarantee no matter what happens but then in 5 years you could get more with way sports rights are.

Think they'll settle in for 5-7 years like previous deals and probably around that 800 mill a year number. Gotta figure between 700 mill to 1 billion a year is what they'll get, in that range.

Neck and neck with soccer

Except the NBA just secured 77 billion over 11 years.

I congratulate Dana on his ability to absolutely screw over his fighters.

The percentage of money that is going to his fighters it way less than what is being given to NBA players.

you mean soccer in america? yea. about right.
however if we talking international football that is chump change.

 

[Tapatio]

That is a lot of money. Do we see an increase in fighter pay in the near future?

The UFC is not a career, it's an opportunity. So that's a no.

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

Even though this is speculation it isn't far fetched. $800 million a year for the UFC seemed nearly impossible 15 years ago. You may hate Dana, Hunter, Endeavor/TKO and how they run their business and screw over fighters, but this sport we follow which at onetime seemed like it was going to go the way of the dodo or always be niche, signing a deal that big would be a huge win.

I know TKO would get a huge media rights increase in the face of the NBA's new deal and the 40% raise they received for WWE's product. They did their job if it's even close.

They got their money alright, meanwhile the fighters have gotten CTE/long-term injuries while being drastically underpaid for the risks they take.

They also stepped on the product so much it's like snorting baby powder half the time, it's actually quite shocking they can get so much money when they sell such a watered down product.

Whoa Dana must be ready to retire.. you would think he would want a shorter deal, to then be able to get even more money after say 4-5 years.

Or maybe he doesn't think the Sport will grow past that?

Should of tagged me bro

Remember when Dana said he wants to do away with PPVs in the future, but the price has only gone up

The sad part is if another company were to take over the UFC they would likely employ the same exact tactics the UFC does to stay on top.

Why would you change it? it's a proven model that works

Jones will be over to help manage the "shoveling".

I would think the other two would be Max and Peacock. My guess is Netflix is going to make a big play for this. There is a big battle for live sports streaming right now with Amazon's success with Thursday Night Football and now getting in on the NBA, Netflix is getting left behind.

PFL founder congratulates Dana White on his next level brilliance allegedly securing a 8 billion dollar streaming deal over the next 10 years.

This is quadruple the deal that the UFC had with ESPN.

Dana White's Clever $8 Billion Plan Revealed in PFL Boss' Confession

Read this article to find out PFL founder Donn Davis' view on why the UFC is in for a massive deal after its current ESPN deal ends in 2025.

www.essentiallysports.com

“So UFC is going to five big offers, it’s going to be $8 billion over 10 years… Their entire package will be $800 million a year if you take their media plus their pay-per-view. Remember they have 50 events a year… 15 pay-per-views, 35 on media,”

Imagine obe day PFL would have a 100 million dollar mma tournament in heavyweight

Y..yeah bro. Dana will give you his word

 

[Tweak896]

These media companies are retarded with money. I can't believe we may have to deal with Apex cards pumped out for corporate execs for content quantity for 10 years. The way so many entertainment companies piss away millions with losses in movies and TV shows.

The future is bleak. Used to be audience response was enough to tank these idiots in charge and next time they give people what they want. The world is truly backwards.
